EngagingWhy do we all want an iPad?


  • They are cool
  • They are engaging
  • They keep the students busy
  • It will cure something
  • They work for the student - aha!

What we have to learn is what is the right tool for the job!
Consider UDL

It is a set of principles for curriculum development that give all individuals equal opportunities to learn.
UDL provides a blueprint for creating instructional goals, methods, materials, and assessments that work for everyone--not a single, one-size-fits-all solution but rather flexible approaches that can be customized and adjusted for individual needs.


So is the bottom lines become:
  • Is the iPad accessible to the student?
  • Does the Ipad work for that student in an Universal Design Model?
